Tools for Humanists, 1989
a software and hardware fair
6-9 June 1989

10 April 1989

`Tools for Humanists, 1989' is a comprehensive software and
hardware fair to be held in conjunction with `The Dynamic Text'.
It will feature more than 50 innovative public-domain and
commercial products of interest to computing humanists and to
others concerned with the computerized processing of natural
languages. Many of the programs will be demonstrated by their
developers. The fair will contain software for IBM, Apple, and
Sun equipment, online databases, and specialized hardware -- such
as the NeXT workstation.

The fair will run for four days, from 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday 6
June to 5:30 p.m. on Friday 9 June. Each day except the first and
last consists of 3 periods, morning (10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.),
afternoon (2:30 - 5:30 p.m.), and evening (7:30 - 10:30).
Admission is free of charge to the general public. Exhibitors
will be encouraged to distribute public-domain software, and
several commercial developers will sell their products at
discount.

A complete guidebook to the fair, given to conference
attendees, will also be available at a reasonable cost to others.
It will consist of extensive descriptions of all exhibited
products and sufficient technical information to answer most
elementary questions.

In addition to the scheduled exhibits, a small number of IBM
and Macintosh machines will be available in `The Hacker's Corner'
on a first-come first-served basis for informal demonstrations.
Descriptions of software exhibited in The Hacker's Corner will
not appear in the guidebook, however.

The following is a current list of the exhibitors and their
various products. A schedule will be published shortly.
This list is subject to change without notice.
Corrections are welcome. Omissions are unintentional.
Additions are to be expected.
